Feed the Bot

Googlebot arrives hungry. Bring a clean site map, sensible status codes and exactly the right amount of beautifully controlled chaos.

Intro

Something moved in the server logs.It's back.

Verse

Click through the kitchen, crawl through the drain,Ten thousand colours of the very same page.Price low, price high, size small, size wide,Built you a labyrinth and locked you inside.One more filter, one more door,Every door makes twenty more.Sales wants everything live by lunch—The server's coughing up its guts!

Pre-chorus

I laid a sitemap at your feet.You found the mess beneath the street.

Chorus

Googlebot! What have you found?A million ways to go around.Feed the bot! Spit me out!What's this endless crawl about?You came, you crawled, you walked away—My best damn page still waits all day!

Instrumental Break

Verse

Three oh one to three oh two,Round the loop and back to you.Robots says no, so you stay outside,Can't read the noindex I locked inside.Built you a page for the grand parade,Left it orphaned in the shade.All that work and a blank reply—Now the dashboard's asking why!

Pre-chorus

I laid a sitemap at your feet.You found the mess beneath the street.

Chorus

Googlebot! What have you found?A million ways to go around.Feed the bot! Spit me out!What's this endless crawl about?You came, you crawled, you walked away—My best damn page still waits all day!

Bridge

You are not a promise.You are not a crown.Just another visitorWalking through this town.I built a thousand doorwaysAnd forgot to build a room.Give the page a reason—Not another thing to consume.

Breakdown

Close the loop!Clear the way!Build a page worth finding!Let it say something!

Final Chorus

Googlebot! What have you found?A million ways to go around.Feed the bot! Spit me out!What's this endless crawl about?You came, you crawled, you walked away—My best damn page still waits all day!

Outro

Crawled.Still not indexed.Of course.
